Finally, I think I am settled down as far as what my job will be for the next year or so. I came around full circle and now I am XO for Alpha Company as of yesterday. Came in on Monday and quickly took over operations- the previous XO helped me out a great deal and I think I am set up for success. The job is simple in that it does not require rocket science- but complicated in the sense that there is ALOT of simple things that need to be done and not everybody who works for you is able to handle their share of the load at times. It provides for an interesting test in people management/ time mangement.
So, time will tell how this job goes.
To recap the last month- Did alot of OPORDs and random operations work while in the 3 shop- spent 9 hours in front of a computer everyday basically. Nothing difficult, but just alot of shit to do-what made the job simple was the fact that I only had to rely on myself to get the job done. Also went to Barcelona somewhere within the last month- Great time- I like Spain. Also went to Verdun too sometime too-nice place, interesting to see where the greatest events in History happen.
In other news, it is getting butt ass cold in Germany. Every morning is freezing or below- days are getting a lot shorter as well. It is only going to get colder... at least the holidays are coming up though. Should be headed back home for part of the holidays and have my first Euro new years- beats an Iraqi New Years like whoah. Hoping to hit the slopes pretty soon for some snowboarding. Thanksgiving might be a good opportunity to take a snowboarding trip.
